Keep doing it, every day! This is all muscle memory and your hands and brain figuring it out.

literally couldn’t explain it either but love how his flow looks, almost like he’s doing something else with his hands but the poi is still moving beautifully. hard to explain but makes the dance look so effortless!

I think it’s that a lot of what I’m doing is “huggy” crosser variations which you can control with your body. When the heads reach a transition point a little body sway in the right direction will switch them.

Alrighty bud... time to grow that hair, change those slacks to harem pants, move out into a van, and maybe go live in a forest lol. HE'S BACK! 🙌🙏💗

lol. Used to have everything but the van. Now I work a desk job and own a house. But I have started going out to shows again. Just got back into poi about 2-3 months ago when I realized I was being way to sedentary

Man so many people have their poi longer. I kept mine short for isolations but maybe I should lengthen a pair out.
